The Demon King sat on a stool and sighed with exhaustion.
He didn't expect himself to be so tired. He could run for a week or two without panting even if he didn't eat or drink, but now he felt like his legs were about to break.
They'd walked through almost the entire Great Ancient Market. The Queen seemed to be purposely avoiding all the jewelry shops and going to some strange shop instead.
"What's this?"
At this moment, the Queen's voice came from not too far away. She asked the shop owner in an excited tone.
"This is a klata tower, a magical tool that can store things. It has a total of seven levels, and each level has a space similar to a cabinet. It's so small that you can hold it in your hand!" the shop owner explained.
The Queen held the unique little tower that was slightly bigger than her palm. She turned around and said to the Demon King, "Buy this for me!"
"No way."
The Demon King said. He had plenty of these things.
"Then forget it. Let's go to the next shop."
The Queen put down the little tower and continued to walk around with Myr. Myr didn't mind. As a merchant, she was curious about these strange goods. It could be considered as increasing her knowledge.
However, the Demon King didn't think so. He only wanted to buy the things quickly and go back. He had no reason and no need to wander around here. Although there were many things here, most of them were useless to him.
"That's enough. Let's get down to business."
However, the Demon King stopped the Queen. His tone had changed.
When the Queen Mother heard this, she immediately stopped in her tracks and turned around. She stared at the Demon King and said, "I smell something very fragrant!"
The Demon King frowned, "No! Fine! "
"This is the last time! This is really the last time! "
She put her hands together and begged the Demon King.
Myr stood to the side and didn't say anything. The Demon King sighed, "This is the last time."
"Okay!"
After saying that, the Queen Mother excitedly ran into a shop.
The two followed her into the shop, but the Queen disappeared as soon as she entered.
The strange thing was that this shop didn't have a signboard, and there was nothing written on the outside. No one knew what was being sold here.
As soon as they entered, an old man wearing sunglasses said to the two of them, "Welcome. It's really lively today. Three guests came at once."
"What are you selling here?"
The Demon King asked.
"Business."
"Business?"
The Demon King was a little confused. He looked around and realized that this was simply a grocery store. It had everything: bones, skins, pots, books, tools, weapons, and even armor and clothes.
"So, are you here to buy something or sell something? Seeing that you didn't bring anything, you must be here to buy something. "
The old man said slowly.
The Demon King immediately understood. In a sense, this place was indeed a grocery store, and most of their goods were stolen goods. Those goods that were in a hurry to be sold and obtained through improper means probably flowed into this place.
He glanced at the old man. He was a magician, and there were three or four other magicians in the room. They were not weak.
"That depends on what kind of goods you have."
The Demon King replied.
The old man chuckled and said, "Then look around. Let me know if you see anything you like, and I'll give you a discount."
However, just as he finished speaking, the sound of banging and banging came from the shop.
"Hey! You're not allowed to enter! Stop! Ah! "
Hearing this, the old man's expression changed. He immediately pulled out a staff that looked like a crutch from under the counter and rushed into the shop. The Demon King sighed and grabbed Myr, who was beside him, and said, "Don't go too far away from me."
Then, he brought her into the depths of the shop. From a half-opened door came the sound of several people cursing. After the Demon King entered, he found that the Queen Mother was indeed inside.
There were several fierce-looking people standing in the room. Their arms were tattooed with some kind of magic pattern, and they held machetes with both hands. They wore magical stones and were glaring angrily at the Queen Mother.
One of them was lying on the ground, holding his chest and moving back. The old man held the crutch with both hands and said to the Queen Mother, "Please leave immediately!"
"Hey! I said don't cause trouble for me! "
The Demon King frowned and shouted. Immediately, the people in the shop turned to look at the Demon King with reproachful eyes.
"You're in cahoots?! Then take care of your woman! Don't let her run around! "The fierce-looking brawny man scolded.
"I can only ask you to leave here. Please leave, immediately!"
The old man shouted.
However, the Queen Mother ignored them. She reached out and grabbed the wooden box.
"Stop!"
One of them shouted.
However, with a bang, the Queen Mother opened the box, and a long-necked creature poked its head out.
Its whole body was covered in silver-white scales, and its eyes were large and terrifying. There were a few catfish-like whiskers near its nose, and there were very obvious horns on its head.
"This is a dragon?!"
Myr couldn't help but cover her mouth. She didn't know if she should speak.
However, this dragon was clearly a baby, and its body wasn't big. When it saw everyone, red smoke gradually rose from its body, and it suddenly opened its mouth wide.
“yia！！！！”
Its terrifying cry pierced everyone's ears. However, in the next second, its neck was strangled by the Queen Mother, and it could only make cracking sounds.
At this moment, the Queen Mother was drooling and looking at it with eyes full of desire.
"You must be delicious!"
She opened her mouth and was about to take a bite, but at this moment, a hand pinched her mouth. The Queen Mother was stunned. Her eyes moved to the corner of her eyes, and she saw a man in black.
Everyone was shocked. This woman who suddenly barged in could actually control this evil dragon with one hand, and the man who barged in later was also controlling this woman with one hand!
This dragon cub had a terrifying power. Just its roar alone was enough to make people bleed from their seven orifices. Its sharp claws could easily break rocks, so they tied it up with steel chains and locked it up with soundproof wood to isolate its sound.
The scales on this baby dragon's body were very hard, and almost invulnerable. Even magic had no effect on it, so the people in the shop had a headache over it.
The Queen Mother let go of the baby dragon, and it coughed and shrank back. The Demon King also let go of his hand. He turned around and looked at the shop owner, saying, "How much is this dragon?"
Hearing this, everyone was stunned.
"Huh?!"
Myr suddenly let out a cry of surprise. He wanted to raise a dragon? This was obviously not a low-level flying dragon that could be tamed. It seemed to be a terrifying high-level dragon species, one of the most dangerous creatures.
Everyone looked at the old man. He coughed and frowned, saying, "Sorry, this dragon has already been sold."
He said in a low voice.
"Is that so? Then why is it still here?" The Demon King turned around and looked at the old man. His eyes seemed to say that he had to get this dragon no matter what.
